ForĮxample, pair of glasses left on gallery floor mistaken for art because people probably Like I said in class, my definition of the beauty(art) is If it is a tool, IĬan value it more easily than conventional art forms. Rocky, and I like almost every aspects of his behaviors (the way of making Way to sustain his creating environment by monetizing himself by direct (Everyone is different, but you understand). Progress (if reality is shitty, do something about it) and individuality Person who is compassionate about creating art works. After watching all the Rocky’s interview, he is a normal The reason why I like Rocky is the authenticity and theĬompassionate works. (Being next to Honda Accord is more threatening than Rolls Royce in my opinion) And he raised the standard in the hip-hop, visuals and fashion industry. This is because his world (Harlem) rewarded him if he portrayed being tough.
His lyrics can be very offensive, but I understand as a form of showing the toughness of himself. I would say the style of Rocky’s music is a Punk within the Hip-Hop. His visuals and music are so unique, beautiful, and high-end. He met ASAP Yams (founder of ASAP mob), and all the legacy
Thankfully, Rocky was talented that he utilized his energy Selling drugs, Rocky also started selling drugs and doing teenager stuffs like After his father went to prison because of Situation was not so good that his family were vulnerable within theĮnvironment of drugs and violent. Hip-hop lover, he has built his talent since a toddler. Harlem named after the one of the greatest rappers Rakim. But at a certain point we have to begin questioning whether we set the bar too high based off of a genre-defining moment with “Peso.” Can we truly expect him to eclipse that moment in time? Surely, we should be able to - but with Testing, we’re still waiting.ASAP Rocky is a person who is hip-hop artist. Three albums and seven years later, we’re still waiting for A$AP Rocky to live up to his potential. Everything else is a spotty affair of hit and miss that ends up feeling much longer than the 52 minutes that are presented to our eardrums. “Purity” ends up being a damn good Frank Ocean song featuring A$AP Rocky more than the other way around. and Cudi do more to detract from the song than add to it and the moment ends up feeling completely overproduced and far too experimental. The T.I., Moby and Kid Cudi assisted “A$AP Forever” is on the verge of being one of those moments as the enchanting sample of “Porcelain,” coupled with Rocky’s cocky Southern charm wrapped in a Harlem package, sound like a match made in heaven. Perhaps one of the most alarming things about Testing is the fact that it truly is lacking that one shining moment that A$AP Rocky can call his own. Ocean’s rhymes ride beautifully over the tranquil production while the A$AP Mob head honcho laments about fame swallowing up his life and fervently trying to find room to breathe and enjoy his loved ones.ĥ Things We Learned After Our First Listen to A$AP Rocky's 'Testing' Album 2.0 album, Rocky is joined by Frank Ocean to deliver the most introspective song on the album. The same can be said for the album’s closer “Purity.” Flipping the sample to Lauryn Hill’s “I Gotta Find Peace Of Mind” from the MTV Unplugged No. Strangely enough, one of his finest moments on the album is also one of the least experimental. “Black Tux, White Collar” finds the 29-year-old reconnecting with producer Clams Casino and revisiting a sound that helped define him while giving a middle finger to the police.
Make no mistake, Rocky still has his moments. Unfortunately, he’s still style over substance and his efforts at experimentation don’t always click like he wants them to. Three years after AT.$AP comes Testing where Rocky is at his most experimental as he gives of 52 minutes of attempting to push the musical boundaries as far left as he possibly can.
